Healthy Schools: suicidal thoughts

Use the resources below to help support children and young people you know or suspect is having suicidal thoughts.

Find all Healthy Schools resources here

If someone is having suicidal thoughts

If a child or young person reveals that they're having suicidal thoughts:

  • listen
  • take them seriously
  • help them feel that they're not alone
  • identify the level of risk
  • signpost specialist support and support them to access that support

It doesn't increase the level of risk to talk to someone about their suicidal thoughts.

If you think someone is at immediate risk, make sure:

  • they're not left alone
  • potential risks are removed

Then seek urgent help (external site) immediately.
